Crossword Genius

Actor, good, with skills (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

gable

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'actor' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'good with skills' is the wordplay.
'good' becomes 'g' (abbreviation).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'skills' becomes 'able' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'g'+'able'='GABLE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for gable that I've seen before include "Triangular brickwork" , "Triangular upper part of a wall under a roof" , "End of a house" , "Roof structure" , "Side of house or Clark, film star" .)
